How do business loans work?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you get a business loan, your loan provider will lend you a lump sum of
money, which you then repay over an agreed period with added interest. The money
must be used for business purposes, such as marketing, equipment or growth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be eligible to apply for a loan with us, you need to:

 * Have been trading for 1 year or more
 * Be based in the UK

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BUSINESS LOAN AND A PERSONAL LOAN?

A BUSINESS LOAN IS INTENDED FOR BUSINESS USE ONLY SUCH AS BUYING STOCK OR
UPGRADING EQUIPMENT, WHEREAS A PERSONAL LOAN IS INTENDED FOR PERSONAL USE, SUCH
AS FINANCING A CAR OR MAKING HOME IMPROVEMENTS.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUSINESS LOANS?

BUSINESS LOANS CAN TAKE DIFFERENT FORMS AND PROVIDE SPECIFIC NEEDS FOR SPECIFIC
TYPES OF BUSINESSES AND BUSINESS NEEDS. TYPES OF BUSINESS LOANS INCLUDE:


 * RECOVERY LOAN SCHEME (RLS)
 * UNSECURED BUSINESS LOANS
 * WORKING CAPITAL LOANS
 * COMPANY LOANS
 * SELF EMPLOYED LOANS
 * ASSET FINANCE

WHAT IF I’VE BEEN REFUSED A BUSINESS LOAN IN THE PAST?

IF YOU HAVE BEEN REFUSED A BUSINESS LOAN IN THE PAST THERE ARE A FEW STEPS YOU
CAN CONSIDER BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR ANOTHER LOAN:

 * REVIEW YOUR FINANCIALS
 * IMPROVE YOUR CREDIT SCORE
 * ADDRESS ANY OUTSTANDING DEBTS


ONCE YOU’VE TAKEN THESE STEPS YOU MAY BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO REAPPLY FOR A
SMALL BUSINESS LOAN AGAIN.

ARE BUSINESS LOANS HARD TO GET?

WE WANT TO HELP AS MANY BUSINESSES AS WE CAN GET ACCESS TO FINANCE, AND APPROVE
THOUSANDS OF LOANS EVERY YEAR. TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR BUSINESS OWNERS, WE’VE MADE

How much will a business loan cost?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The amount your loan will cost will depend on the amount of money you want to
borrow, your interest rate and your loan term. We charge a one-off completion
fee when you take out your loan, and your interest rate will be calculated based
on a number of factors, including your credit score and finances.

There’s no fee if you want to settle the loan early. All our loans are fixed
rate, so you’ll know exactly how much you’ll need to repay each month and what
the cost of borrowing is.

If you’d like a breakdown of how much your loan could cost, check out our
business loan calculator here.

How much can I borrow?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Funding Circle, you can apply for a small business loan of £10,000-£500,000.
If you want to take out a loan under the Government’s Recovery Loan Scheme
(RLS), you can borrow £25,001-£350,000. Check if you’re eligible to borrow here
.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT ARE THE INTEREST RATES FOR A BUSINESS LOAN?

WITH INTEREST RATES STARTING FROM 7.9% PER YEAR, A FUNDING CIRCLE SMALL BUSINESS
LOAN CAN BE MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE THAN A BUSINESS OVERDRAFT OR A BUSINESS CREDIT
CARD. YOU CAN ALSO TAKE AN UNSECURED LOAN WITHOUT PUTTING DOWN PROPERTY OR
ASSETS AS A SECURITY, AND THERE’S NO FEE IF YOU WANT TO PAY OFF YOUR LOAN EARLY
IN ONE GO.

HOW LONG CAN I BORROW FOR?

TERMS ARE AVAILABLE FROM 6 MONTHS TO 6 YEARS. THERE’S ALSO NO FEES FOR FULL
EARLY REPAYMENT, SO YOU CAN SETTLE EARLY AT NO EXTRA COST.

DO I NEED A PERSONAL GUARANTEE?

IF YOU’RE APPROVED FOR A FUNDING CIRCLE BUSINESS LOAN, A PERSONAL GUARANTEE WILL
BE REQUIRED.

WHAT DOCUMENTS DO I NEED FOR A BUSINESS LOAN?

AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED OUR ONLINE FORM, YOU’LL NEED TO SEND A FEW DOCUMENTS TO
FINISH YOUR APPLICATION. WE MAY REQUIRE:

BUSINESS BANK STATEMENTS FOR UP TO THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS

THEY MUST SHOW:

 * THE ACCOUNT NAME AND (WHERE POSSIBLE) THE REGISTERED ADDRESS. THESE MUST
   MATCH THE BUSINESS YOU CREATE THE LOAN APPLICATION FOR.
 * THE SORT CODE AND ACCOUNT NUMBER.
 * ALL DAILY TRANSACTIONS.


LATEST FULL UNABBREVIATED ACCOUNTS

THIS MUST INCLUDE:

 * PROFIT AND LOSS
 * DETAILED PROFIT AND LOSS
 * BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION

WHEN DO I NEED TO START REPAYING MY BUSINESS LOAN?

YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENTS WILL START ONE MONTH AFTER FUNDING CIRCLE FUNDS YOUR LOAN.

TO MAKE SURE YOUR PAYMENT IS PROCESSED IN TIME FOR THE REPAYMENT DATE ON YOUR
CONTRACT, WE WILL TAKE THE DIRECT DEBIT PAYMENT UP TO 5 DAYS BEFORE IT IS DUE.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE FUND YOUR LOAN ON JUNE 6, THEN WE WILL TAKE YOUR FIRST
PAYMENT ON JULY 1 AND EACH SUBSEQUENT PAYMENT WILL BE TAKEN ON THE 1ST OF THAT
MONTH.

CAN I REPAY MY BUSINESS LOAN EARLY?

YES, YOU’RE ABLE TO SETTLE YOUR LOAN EARLY AT ANY TIME AND THERE ARE NO FEES FOR
FULL EARLY REPAYMENT.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Is a business loan right for me?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before considering a small business loan, you should take some time to work out
whether a loan is your best option. Business loans can be used to refinance
existing debt, or support your business through times of financial hardship.

You should never take out a business loan if you’re worried about whether you
can meet the repayments.

A business loan could be right for you if:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 * You're buying assets that will add long-term value to your business
 * You require additional funds to grow or expand your business
 * You wish to improve your business credit score
 * You need help managing your cash flow

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A business loan may not be right for you if:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



 * You cannot find a loan of the correct amount with suitable terms
 * You are not certain you can afford repayments
 * You have recently been refused a business loan
 * You have used up all existing lines of credit

Improving your credit score can better your chances of getting a business loan.
You can find some advice on how to boost your score here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW DO I QUALIFY FOR A SMALL BUSINESS LOAN?

QUALIFYING FOR A SMALL BUSINESS LOAN DEPENDS ON YOUR SITUATION AND WE TAKE A
NUMBER OF FACTORS INTO ACCOUNT. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU WON’T QUALIFY FOR A FUNDING
CIRCLE LOAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRADING FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR.

TO FIND OUT IF YOU QUALIFY, APPLY FOR A BUSINESS LOAN HERE APPLY FOR A BUSINESS
LOAN HERE.

WHEN WILL I GET A DECISION ON MY SMALL BUSINESS LOAN?

YOU’LL GET A DECISION ON YOUR SMALL BUSINESS LOAN IN AS LITTLE AS 1 HOUR.

WHAT ARE BUSINESS LOAN TERMS?

“LOAN TERMS” REFER TO THE AGREED DETAILS INVOLVED WHEN BORROWING MONEY SUCH AS
REPAYMENT PERIOD AND LOAN INTEREST RATES.

WITH A BUSINESS LOAN FROM FUNDING CIRCLE YOU CAN BORROW OVER 6 MONTHS TO 6
YEARS, WITH INTEREST RATES STARTING FROM 7.9% PER YEAR.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I THINK I MAY MISS A REPAYMENT ON MY BUSINESS LOAN?

IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING REPAYMENT(S), IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU
